Honey 1

A dining excursion here for ribs, rib tips or, better yet, a tips-and-link combo is all about authentic hickory-smoked flavors. Order a slab for takeout from Robert Adams Sr. or his son, Robert Adams Jr., or settle into the cafeteria-clean, family-friendly dining room. 2241 N. Western Ave., 773-227-5130.

The owners of Honey 1 state"The first thing you'll see when you walk into Honey 1 BBQ is our glassed-in smoker and a pile of hickory."Now try to think of the last time you saw that in a BBQ restaurant. Most so-called BBQ is actually boiled, baked and steamed in sauce - anything but slow-cooked over wood fire for hours like we cook it.

The result of doing it our real BBQ way is smoky, juicy pork with some real meatiness to it - not something so soft Grandma could gum it without her dentures. It takes longer. It costs us more to keep the fire going. But it tastes a whole lot better than that other stuff, and it's the only way we're willing to cook BBQ. We think our traditional Arkansas wood-smoked BBQ is pretty darn impressive, and if you serve it up at your party, your guests will be impressed from the first whiff, too.
